Biography
Ercole Esposito was born in Rome, and became a member of the anti-Borgia/Templar Order resistance during the Italian Wars. In 1503, he was attacked by a group of guards in the Campagna District near the guard tower of Ferdinando di Napoli, but he was rescued by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who slew the guards. Esposito pledged to fight alongside Ezio as a member of the Assassin Order.

Shortly after, Ezio attacked Napoli's guard tower, and Esposito assisted him. The two fought off Borgia guards, but Esposito was killed by Napoli himself. In revenge, Ezio kicked him off a building, killing him. Ezio headed to Esposito's body when the battle was done to close his eyes, telling him to rest in peace.
